Hello,
I purchased a 12 volume book set called Gunpou Jiyou shuu (軍法侍用集).
An interesting 12 volume book set written in 1653 by Ogasawara Sakuun who collected practical warfare information.
Book 1 - Questions and & answers among brave heroes
Books 2-4 - Preparation to battles and also how shinobi are important
Book 5 - Weapon and tool collection
Books 6-8 - Shinobi and Ninja
Books 9-10 - Layout and direction article (how to use space in the battle).
Book 11 - Secret of using space to layout
Book 12 - About "ki" (qi)
Looks to have pre-dated the Basenshukai (1676) Shoninki (1681) and written in the same year as the Ninpiden (1653)
Anyone have any additional information?
thank you kindly,
Robert
